Who are we?

Where are we?

We’re still reeling from a night of fried bologna, duck confit, and porchetta…

Oh, right, we’re in PORTLAND, OREGON, y’all, for a weekend of chef demos, food panels, and, of course, parties, all in the name of Feast Portland, the annual that is, at least officially, about “celebrating Oregon’s bounty and the chefs and artisans who do some pretty amazing things with it” but often feels more like a delicious excuse to get some of the best food people in the country to come to one of the best food cities in the country for a long weekend of camaraderie and overindulgence.

And that porky stuff we mentioned was part of last night’s kick-off event, the Sandwich Invitational, during which 15 chefs brought their ‘wichy A-games in hopes of winning a year’s worth of bragging rights. BA‘s Foodist, Andrew Knowlton, was a judge, a golden sandwich was the trophy, and very full and happy were the guests. Click through the photos above for the play-by-play.
